The South Peninsula Haven House Board of Directors and staff would like to thank the community of Homer and surrounding area for your generosity in helping make our annual “Women of Distinction” event an overwhelming success. You truly opened up your hearts and generously parted with your hard-earned cash — through the gentle encouragement of Gary Thomas, our auctioneer extraordinaire.

Those in attendance helped us celebrate, and honor the contributions of Kelly Cooper, Lyn Maslow, Casey Marsh, and Donna and Bernie Gareau.

And, an inspirational, and heartfelt story brought a hush to the evening as we listened to Karen, a survivor of domestic violence, talk about how Haven House was there for her in her time of need.

The funds raised from this special evening will help us support, empower, and provide safe haven to survivors living within our local communities who continue to be impacted by domestic violence and sexual assault.
